Where would you predict this team would be right now?

(Not Syracuse related -- but this is another P5 team that has had a disastrous season)

In 2017.
- A #8 seed.
- Ken Pom #38

In 2018
- Returns top 5 scorers, and 6 of the top 7 overall.
- No injury issues. (One of the top 6 has missed 2 games)

This team should certainly be expected to be a top 20 team right?

Northwestern!

Yep Northwestern. Returning all your lineup should be a template for success and yet it hasn't.

Lost to Texas Tech by 36, Lost to Oklahoma by 26, Lost at Georgia Tech. No quality wins. And tonight they lost at home vs a bad Nebraska team.

What is going on up there?

The classroom is too high a priority for players at Northwestern. Lack of focus. Stanford and Vanderbilt have the same problem. They are good but inconsistent programs.

To get in the tourney last season, they made a deal with the devil--and now they're paying the price.

Expectations, this group has been the underdogs forever, a lot different when you are the hunted and people expect things from you.
